Good health should never feel out of reach, and that’s exactly what Novo Nordisk Philippines and Rose Pharmacy are working toward in Cebu and the Visayas.
Together, they’re breaking down barriers in obesity care by tackling stigma, raising awareness, and making it easier for people to connect with healthcare professionals who understand the complexity of obesity as a chronic disease.
“Obesity is a chronic, complex disease that requires sustained care and support,” explained Wei Sun, General Manager of Novo Nordisk Philippines. “By partnering with Rose Pharmacy, we hope to help more Filipinos in Cebu and nearby communities access the right treatment and long‑term care they deserve.”
And here’s the exciting part: from May to October, selected Rose Pharmacy branches will be offering free consultations for obesity and diabetes management. It’s a practical way for patients to take that first step toward better health without worrying about consultation fees.
Michael So, General Manager of Rose Pharmacy, shared, “Pharmacies play an important role in helping patients take the first step toward better health. By working with Novo Nordisk, we hope to make it easier for more Cebuanos to access reliable information and the support they need to manage obesity with confidence and dignity.”
This initiative is part of Novo Nordisk’s Live Lighter movement, which is reshaping how obesity is understood and treated in the Philippines. As part of these efforts, Novo Nordisk continues to expand partnerships that integrate clinical expertise, patient support, and innovation, complemented by science-based treatments such as semaglutide-based GLP-1 receptor agonist therapies—helping more Filipinos live lighter, healthier lives.
